Still have questions about OHIP physiotherapy?

Get in touch with a College of Physiotherapists of Ontario Physiotherapy Information Advisor:

Does OHIP cover physiotherapy? Do I qualify for OHIP covered physiotherapy?

OHIP physiotherapy covers physiotherapy for seniors, youth and some other patients at government-funded physiotherapy clinics to help patients recover from illness, surgery or injury.

To be eligible, you must have a doctor’s referral and:

be 19 years old or younger

be 65 years old or older

be receiving benefits under the Ontario Disability Support Program or Family Works

If you are not in one of these groups, but you have stayed overnight in a hospital for a problem that now requires physiotherapy treatment, you are also eligible for OHIP covered physiotherapy with a doctor's referral.

There are a limited number of OHIP physiotherapy clinics across the province.

How Do I Find a Government-funded Clinic?

If you are not eligible or cannot access government-funded (OHIP) physiotherapy, please visit the Public Register to find a physiotherapist and access a complete list of registered physiotherapists in Ontario.
